So, just to let everybody know, I got tired of this problem. I switched jobs so I'm in front a computer all day again, and I couldn't stand not being able to ssh to my server at home reliably. I reinstalled the server with Ubuntu Server 8.04 LTS, and the problem went away. syslog know looks like it should. See attachment.
